This volume brings to English readers the timeless reflections of St. Isidore of Seville on the symbolic language of numbers in Scripture.

Far more than simple counts, the numbers used by sacred authors serve as signs of divine order, theological truth, and spiritual mystery. In this early medieval treatise, St. Isidore explains how biblical numerology opens a deeper understanding of God’s design woven throughout salvation history.

Part of the Resurrection Series, the book includes a short biography drawn from the traditional Breviary along with extensive scholarly footnotes that clarify historical context and theological insight. 

Priests, seminarians, scholars, and lay faithful alike will find in these pages a rich resource for contemplative reading and a renewed appreciation for Scripture’s symbolic depth.
